Cool, thanks! Nice pose!

That's another point... SG or VG?

Hehe, I know what you mean. ^_^

Is there currently a global chat group for the artistically interested, or those who regularly spend time here?

ParagonOne. Yes.

Still a lot of ways to make the name.

I don't care much which server it is, as long as I can play on it, and the people don't all hate me.

Mr Awesome, Mr. Awesome, Mister Awesome, Mr-Awesome, Mister-Awesome, MrAwesome, Mr.Awesome, MisterAwesome, and you think they're all going to be taken?? O_o

Why not?

Envisionaries is cool. Virtue would be nice.

*Shakes his fist at Mr. Awesome*

The highlights on the skin should be made with a bigger brush, that would make it softer. The eyes are fine, except all the light needs to be coming from the same direction, unless you have two light sources. And I doubt he'd have a light source between his eyes, which is what you have now. XD

In other words, make the eye shine on the right side of the eye only, to go with the rest of the pic.

Any server besides Justice/Liberty is fine by me. I'm full up on them. I'm pretty sure the other servers have room.

Okay, yeah, I want critiques, but this is a little too much. No offense, but can you please stop?


And I'm 12. I would be one of those "younger viewers". I happen to like this style, and I don't intend to change it anytime soon. Eyes are like that in this particular style. The head is that big. It's according to style, it's not supposed to be completely realistic. Think of it this way: Normal males don't have gigantic bulging muscles, and normal females don't have that kind of figure either. Rant over.

Geez, Derek, you're such a freaking noob. We're totally your elders and you have to do whatever the hell we say. It's not like you have feelings. Now, mush!

lol.... Samoa, you're what, 15?

You did a good job on the shadows, yes, but you forgot shadows on the hair, nose, inside of the ear, mouth, and shadows from the hair. (That sounds like a lot more than it actually is. The more shadows done correctly, the more 3-D the piece looks. )

Yup! I would pick a bit of a lighter grey, for future reference.

Nice! (Set the shading layer to Multiply. )

I'm suspiciously absent form that list!

Let's form a rebellion!!!

WIP!

Hmm.. I think I know what I'll do, usually. I'll do the detailed shadows, but without most of the highlights. I might do the simplistic thing for some, as well.

How could you forget the blue haired guy?


*Ponders how he could make Derek because there's no water or bo-staff in-game*


Name it TA's Fellow Art People.

I'm debating how to color now... Should I do it shiny, or my old style...?

That's anime proportions... Oh well, live and learn.

His left foot is closer to us than the right foot, therefore the staff can go straight down.

Shaddup, Samoa. -_-

You know, I just looked at this again and it occured to me that his hand on the staff is really very large compared to the width of his body. So assuming the hand in the pocket is the same size, it would completely cover his crotch. Clicking on the larger image and looking more closely, there does indeed seem to be a large bulge there. Once you think about it, it's kinda suggestive. Is this something you intended?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, it's not. The hand holding the staff is foreshortened, so it seems bigger than the other hand.


EDIT: Not foreshortened.. You know what I mean. It's closer to the viewer.
